Super Charger and Turbocharger are two devices that are meant to boost the performance of engine:
1. A supercharger is usually driven by the engine while a turbocharger is driven by the exhaust of the engine.
2. A supercharger takes a fraction of the engine’s power and is less efficient than a turbocharger.
3. A turbocharger suffers from lag which a supercharger does not suffer from.
Superchraging means to increase the air density inside the combustion chamber.The device used is called supercharger which is simply a air compressor. Now a super charger which runs on exhaust gas pressure is known as turbocharger.
Supercharger » supercharger work using the power of engine and it leads to loss in power output.the supercharger using power from engine and compresses air and fed through inlet valve.This increases the charge volume increasing efficiency.
Turbocharger » It uses the exhaust to operate turbine in turbocharger and it eliminates the loss that occured in supercharger.This operation compresses air and circulates into inlet.
Both turbochager and supercharger used only in diesel engine.
hope i helped you.These points are from point of view refer our friends posts to accesses , gather more knowledge.
